How can microorganisms and the microbiome be utilised for application in the agri-food, environmental, cultural heritage, energy and pharmaceutical fields? Following the ENEA training course, you will learn about the microorganisms and microbiome, and methods to isolate, detect, characterize and apply microorganisms and microbial consortia in agri-food, environmental, cultural heritage, energy and pharmaceutical fields.
The training course will cover four modules:

Module 1: Microorganisms’ isolation, cultivation, and preservation approaches

Module 2: Genotypic and phenotypic characterization

Module 3: Applications of microorganisms in agri-food, environmental, cultural heritage and pharmaceutical fields

Module 4: Cases study related to EU and national projects.

The course is organised in theoretical lessons, practical lectures and laboratory activities. The main aim of the training course is to provide updated concepts and methodologies on the microbial applications in different fields. A number of senior and young ENEA researchers, participating in the SUS-MIRRI.IT project, have kindly agreed to act as trainers for this school.
